Motorola has a history of being slow with software updates for its devices. The company has been aggressive in offering the best hardware features for the price, but it often overlooks the importance of regular software updates for ensuring long-term usability and security. And the trend holds true across all their devices, whether they are budget-friendly or flagship models.

For instance, the Motorola Razr 2023 foldables were launched with Android 13 and have remained on this older version until recently. Fortunately, there are now reports confirming that Motorola has started rolling out the Android 14 update for these phones.

Initially surfaced on Reddit and later confirmed by tech blogs like 9to5Google, the update brings Android 14 and the May 2024 security patch to previous Razr and Razr+ models. Razr+ users also get a few new features for the external cover screen like Always On Display (AOD) functionality.

However, before getting too excited know that this update doesn’t seem to be reaching everyone just yet. It appears to be a phased rollout, meaning some users might have the update available while others don’t. It’s likely just a waiting game until it reaches all compatible devices.

Currently, the focus appears to be on the US market. Users outside the US may have to wait a bit longer. There’s also a support page on Motorola’s official website for the update, but the international rollout hasn’t started yet.

This slow update strategy comes almost nine months after Google released Android 14 for Pixel phones. While Motorola should be acknowledged for eventually delivering the update, the slow rollout and lack of clear communication leave much to be desired.

With all this talk about Android 14, it’s natural to wonder about the upcoming Android 15. With its release seemingly on the horizon, the question remains: will the Razr and Razr+ receive this update, and if so, when?
